Chapter 517 Orochimaru and Black Zetsu (Ch 517)

“Slug Immortal, I’m here to see you.”

Uchiha Qiushan shouted as he flew up and headed towards the center of the Wet Bone Forest.

Uchiha Qiushan has always respected the Slug Sage.

After all, when Uchiha Qiushan was practicing the Sage Mode in the Wet Bone Forest, the Slug Sage took good care of him. Otherwise, he didn’t know how much suffering he would have to endure before he could complete the practice of the Sage Mode.

The Slug Sage was also very kind to her contractors, especially Uchiha Qiushan, who was even better to him.

After all, among all the contractors in history, only Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Kozan cultivated into the Sage Mode of their Wet Bone Forest, so the Slug Sage still looked at him differently.

Therefore, when Uchiha Qiushan flew over from the sky, the huge slug sage had already raised his head and shouted happily in a voice like a little girl:

“Qiu Shanjun, you finally have time to come and see me. If there is nothing important outside, you must stay here for a few more days.”

Hearing the words of the Slug Sage, Uchiha Qiushan raised his eyebrows a little embarrassedly.

Ever since he finished practicing Sage Mode in the Wet Bone Forest, Uchiha Qiushan seldom came here, so after hearing the Slug Sage’s welcome words, he felt more or less embarrassed.

“Slug Immortal, sorry to bother you. I have reached a certain stage in my cultivation and want to meditate in a place with rich natural energy, so I came here.”

Ever since entering the Wet Bone Forest, Uchiha Qiushan has keenly noticed that the speed at which he absorbs natural energy has increased by at least five times. In other words, what originally took three years to complete the advancement of the World Seed might not even take a year here.

The Slug Sage had already noticed that Uchiha Qiushan absorbed natural energy, but he said without hesitation:

“It’s okay. You can just meditate peacefully here in Xiaoqiushan. The natural energy of this Wet Bone Forest fills the entire secret realm. Even if you stay here for a hundred years, you can’t absorb it all.”

The rich natural energy in this Wet Bone Forest has been accumulated for who knows how many thousands of years. Even if Uchiha Qiushan started to absorb it, it would not pose any threat to the entire Wet Bone Forest.

······

Just when Uchiha Qiushan entered the Wet Bone Forest to absorb natural energy, two uninvited guests met outside the Konoha Village.

In the dense forest outside Konoha Village

Orochimaru walked among them with a very solemn expression, and his eyes occasionally scanned the surroundings. When he saw that he did not find the target, he frowned slightly and said in a very grim tone:

“Okay, Bai Zetsu, I’m here, why don’t you come out? If you don’t show up, then I’m going to go back.”

This was the critical moment for Orochimaru to play the role of Kazekage, so in order to avoid being discovered, he rarely went out. If he had not been frightened by the appearance of White Zetsu just now, Orochimaru would never have risked coming out at this time.

As Orochimaru finished his words, a very strange voice suddenly appeared behind him without any warning.

“Ah, ah, ah, Orochimaru-senpai is angry. After all, you were once a member of our Akatsuki organization. White Zetsu just called you out, so you shouldn’t be angry, right?”

When this voice sounded behind him, Orochimaru was startled. Before he could even turn his head, a huge poisonous snake jumped out from his body, spraying venom and pounced towards the person who suddenly appeared.

However, this man was not afraid at all when facing the oncoming poisonous snake. He was like a phantom, allowing the poisonous snake to pass through his body.

“Oh my, Senior Orochimaru is still very anxious. If I hadn’t run fast, I would have been bitten by Senior’s poisonous snake. It’s so scary.”

At this time, Orochimaru had already turned around. When he saw the man not far away, he was wearing a black uniform with red clouds of the Akatsuki organization, and a mask on his head that only revealed one eye, like a whirlpool. He frowned slightly and asked in a low and hoarse voice:

“Who are you? I’ve never seen you in Akatsuki.”

After hearing what Orochimaru said, this person tickled his fingers in grievance, and then continued:

“Senior Orochimaru, I just joined the Akatsuki organization too, you can just call me A Fei. Senior Black Zetsu calls me A Fei, right, Black Zetsu-senpai?”

As Uchiha Obito finished speaking, Black and White Zetsu also emerged from the tree trunk, but did not respond to Uchiha Obito’s words. Instead, he spoke directly to Orochimaru:

“Orochimaru, as far as I know, you should have killed the Fourth Kazekage and sneaked into Konoha Village instead. What is the purpose of your trip?”

Hearing Black Zetsu’s question, Orochimaru did not answer him, but said in a deep voice:

“I, Orochimaru, have already left the Akatsuki organization a long time ago. There is no need to tell you the purpose of my visit to Konoha Village, right?”

Hearing Orochimaru’s words, Black Zetsu’s face darkened. When he was about to say something, Uchiha Obito, disguised as Afei, jumped up at this time and shouted in a very cheerful tone:

“I know, I know. Senior Orochimaru wants to use the Sand Village and the Sound Village he founded to carry out some kind of Konoha collapse plan, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru’s expression turned ugly.

In Orochimaru’s view, only he and a few high-ranking officials of the Sand Village knew about the Konoha collapse plan that he wanted to implement. In order to prevent the plan from being leaked, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

But what he didn’t expect was that the plan he was going to execute had not even started before it was known by these guys from the Akatsuki organization. How could he not be angry?

At this moment, the Black Zetsu looked at Ah Fei next to him with dissatisfaction, and then said:

“Orochimaru, we came to you not to ruin your good deeds, but because we are also interested in this plan. If you don’t mind, we also want to participate in it.”

Orochimaru never thought that the gloomy Black Zetsu would actually want to get involved. After a slight pause, he nodded with a smile on his face.

“If you want to get involved, I welcome it. But is this your idea or the leader’s?”

When he said this, Orochimaru couldn’t help but think of the god-like leader of the Akatsuki organization who possessed the legendary Rinnegan, and he couldn’t help but lick his lips.
